Pinionfall v2026.09.22

What changed

One roadmap item ships in this release.

• Intro sequence rework. The intro lands on the high road with one sweeping camera, an in-engine grade and letterbox, and a flight clear of the world tree. The angel carries you by the arms and the fall stays on you.

Updating

git pull
npm ci
npm run setup:assets

5 of 6 asset bundles changed (public-textures, public-audio, public-baked, public-props and assets, 1730.9 MB in total). npm run setup:assets downloads and re-extracts only those; the others stay as installed.

It also deletes the 440 asset files that earlier releases shipped and this one retired, but only while their contents are exactly what a release shipped: files you edited or added are never touched.

The physics build is unchanged (WASM 9ef2827b, parry v0.30.2, rapier v0.35.3).
